Independent drug action in combination therapy: implications for precision oncology

D Plana, AC Palmer, PK Sorger�- Cancer discovery, 2022 - AACR
Combination therapies are superior to monotherapy for many cancers. This advantage was
historically ascribed to the ability of combinations to address tumor heterogeneity, but�…

Non-genetic origins of cell-to-cell variability in TRAIL-induced apoptosis

SL Spencer, S Gaudet, JG Albeck, JM Burke…�- Nature, 2009 - nature.com
In microorganisms, noise in gene expression gives rise to cell-to-cell variability in protein
concentrations,,,,,,. In mammalian cells, protein levels also vary,, and individual cells differ�…

Growth rate inhibition metrics correct for confounders in measuring sensitivity to cancer drugs

M Hafner, M Niepel, M Chung, PK Sorger�- Nature methods, 2016 - nature.com
Drug sensitivity and resistance are conventionally quantified by IC50 or E max values, but
these metrics are highly sensitive to the number of divisions taking place over the course of�…

[HTML][HTML] Combination cancer therapy can confer benefit via patient-to-patient variability without drug additivity or synergy

AC Palmer, PK Sorger�- Cell, 2017 - cell.com
Combination cancer therapies aim to improve the probability and magnitude of therapeutic
responses and reduce the likelihood of acquired resistance in an individual patient�…

Yeast heat shock factor is an essential DNA-binding protein that exhibits temperature-dependent phosphorylation

PK Sorger, HRB Pelham�- Cell, 1988 - cell.com
Heat shock promoters contain one or more binding sites for a specific heat shock factor
(HSF). We report the cloning and sequence of the gene encoding yeast HSF, and�…

[HTML][HTML] Highly multiplexed imaging of single cells using a high-throughput cyclic immunofluorescence method

JR Lin, M Fallahi-Sichani, PK Sorger�- Nature communications, 2015 - nature.com
Single-cell analysis reveals aspects of cellular physiology not evident from population-
based studies, particularly in the case of highly multiplexed methods such as mass�…
